Vassal Kingdoms

This mod adds a form of region trading to the campaign!

When you assign a governor to a province, you will now have a choice whether to assign the character as governor (as usual) or to create a new vassal in control of that province (this kills your governor - as if he were to become the head of the new vassal state).

You will only be able to create a vassal state if the faction that would be liberated from the province is either dead or already a vassal of yours. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no way to tell in advance if this is the case. If you begin as West Seaxe, assigning a new governor to Dorseate should allow you to create a vassal, however, your other starting provinces are all true West Seaxe provinces and so there is no option for you to create a vassal for them.

This version of the mod - "Vassal Kingdoms", adds the aforementioned mechanic to the campaign and also applies penalties for holding too many regions. It increases corruption and owning above 20 regions reduces the loyalty of your other characters. It is designed to incentivise the player to make use of their ability to create vassals, (hopefully) preventing them snowballing the late-game, and ultimately provides a new way to play through a total war campaign. A second version of the mod "Vassalise Province" ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1388467819 ) adds the vassalise option without the region penalties.
